Hi, I am very interested in learning more. I have tried several times to register as a verified educator in the last 2 months. I have provided all details necessary. I have a letter from my institution ready to be sent to whoever is able to authorize access. Maybe someone contacting me. My students are on VSCode edu, and would love to be part of this. Many thanks in anticipation, Kind regards, Nathalie ---

Good morning, @NathCampbell and @tonygurney. Thanks so much for your notes! We just finished approving all accounts in the request list. You should be receiving an email shortly with the notification. With so much excitement about authoring, it took a few extra days to manually review each request. Have a great morning and thanks again for your patience. ---
